Chapter 43


    Lily spoke up again, "Do you not want to apany m e around Santabaca?"


    "No, of course, I want to. It would be an honor to apany my adorable sister-inw," Summer said i


    n a friendly tone; however, her smile did not meet her eyes.

    Lily scoffed, ''Sister-inw? How ridiculous of her to call me that!''


    Chuckling mirthlessly to herself, Lily left the room after.


    Summer shifted her gaze back to Mark, who was sitting on the couch, and mocked him, "What a kind


    and loving brother you were."


    His lips twitched upwards as he looked at her momentarily before saying, "The way you said that


    sounded so lovely, Mrs. Valentine. Dopliment me again."


    Summer was rendered speechless.


    The next day.


    She was the only one left in the room when she awoke.


    Just as she was heading to get some breakfast after washing her face, Lily stomped towards her,


    demanding her apany to go around town.


    With Gordon and Yvette in the room, Summer could not turn Lily down, so she agreed defeatedly and


    went out with Lily after grabbing her down jacket.


    Lily was ready to make things difficult for Summer.


    She knew Summer hadn''t had any breakfast, yet she dragged her around from morning to noon as she


    shopped for various luxury brands.


    Stomach growling and feeling hungrier by the minute, Summer quickly went to a KFC nearby and got


    herself a burger when Lily was at the fitting room.


    Unconcerned about others around her, she casually ate her burger in the store. As a result, the staff


    there threw funny nces at her.


    Lily felt extremely embarrassed for Summer and stormed out of the store. She thought, ''How can one


    be so disgraceful in public!''


    Taking her own sweet time, Summer ate her burger slowly. She had even ordered a bowl of noodles as


    they stopped by a food court.


    Frustrated, Lily sat across Summer and waited.


    ''No one has ever brought me to such a boisterous ce, and now thanks to Summer, I am stuck in this


    disgusting food court!'' Lilyined in her head.


    She swore to herself that if it weren''t for wanting to make Summer suffer for the day, she would not


    have stepped into the ce.


    The bowl of noodles Summer was having was delicious. The broth was thick with vor, and the


    noodles were springy. As she was eating, her phone rang. Checking the caller ID, she smiled as she


    picked up the call. It was Nancy.


    "I''m shopping around South Lane. Do you want to join me?"


    "Sure. I was nning to get some new clothes as well. Give me a few minutes, and I''ll meet you there!"


    With that, Nancy ended the call.


    Despite knowing that Summer''s friend wasing, Lily did not intend to leave. On the contrary, she


    asked with feigned politeness, "Is it alright if I tag along with you and your friend?"


    What Lily truly had thought at the moment was, ''So what if her friendes by. My n to humiliate


    her will still go on!''


    "Of course, you can!" replied Summer as she gave her a warm smile.


    Lily''s bad intentions were obvious to Summer.


    Immediately after Summer''s reply, Lily''s phone rang and answered in a soft and gentle tone, "Hello,


    auntie. You want me to watch a movie with you in the cinema? Sure! I''ll head over right now."


    ncing at Summer with the corner of her eyes, she intentionally brought Summer up, "Auntie,


    Summer is with me right now. Do you want to talk to her for a bit?


    Oh, it''s fine? Alright then, I''ll let her know."


    After keeping her phone in her purse, she looked at Summer. Her eyes lit with arrogance, and she


    looked a s if she was showing off.


    "Sorry, Summer. Auntie has asked me to watch a movie with her, so I can''t keep youpany


    anymore. Also, auntie wanted to tell you to be safe while shopping alone."
